Tasks

If you want to claim a task, please put your name (or nickname, both is better) in brackets near the task you wish to claim. Please add it when you start working on it, and if you stop, please remove it, so we can know "who is working on what" and what tasks still needs to be started.

And, of course, this will avoid duplication of work. Thanks a lot! =)

Note

This is a roughly sorted list of tasks that popped out during the meeting. We probably need to categorize it better, like seeing which task is blocker for which other, setting priority, split between "research" and "coding" and things like that. Still sounds like a premature thing though.

KRunner

Major Bugs

None! =)

Runners

pull in options from kdesktop/minicli.cpp and merge into shell and app runners

Misc

Plasma

XML Config: add support for unsupported data types (these are documented in the API docu)

Applet needs a way to access resources for customization (think: clock faces)

provide a way to mark an applet as needing configuration before usage (similar to how we do with failureToLaunch)

Applets

application launcher interface

taskbar (robert knight; others welcome to help)

systray

a generic way to merge custom entries into the standard context menus

on mouse over, show a set of small buttons that allow for the following actions: close, configure, lock, information and move. aseigo has graphics for the buttons already.

add global settings config page, if it exists in the Package (which means adding a pair of entries in packages.cpp for globalconfigui and globalconfigxml), alongside the per-applet ones

plasmagik

Basic classes are in (Package, PackageMetadata, Packager and PackageStructure)! =)

unit tests

resuscitate trunk/playground/base/plasma/plasmagik

bindings

QtScript bindings are being worked on

need to re-evaluate the place of KRoss in the all of this

RootWidget (the "desktop")

Controls box: an expand-on-mouse-over widget that sits on top of the graphicsview and provides discoverable access to zooming, jumping, configuration, adding of elements, locking ...? Currently needs to pretty-fied and the more "techie" options removed

Corona (QGraphicsScene subclass)

Item groups: a container to group items (mostly applets, really) and handle layouting and level of detail

Zooming: 3-level zooming needs to be supported. 100% == 1 item group at full zoom; 50% == all item groups visible with panning with each item replaced by a simple icon; 10% == all item groups visible without panning, each group replaced by a simple icon and items not painted at all (fonz)

Saving and loading of layouts (Alexis)

The concept of form factor needs to move out of Corona and into the item group class

Views

Currently there is DesktopView which is, somewhat obviously, the desktop view onto the Corona

Implement configurable background painting. This can in part be ported from kdesktop for DesktopView. Should be plugin based.
